Idea to honour the N1, the King of phones.

I was just thinking, in two or three years when we've all moved on from our N1s, we could band together and stick them together into a giant android sculpture, or a transformer
#random

Crazy idea buddy but good idea to honor the n1, the best bravest and most innovative phone ever but the worst treated by the media, utterly assassinated.
Maybe a site which each person with an n1 IMEI rate their n1 online on a 1 to 5 scale - and get a virtual n1 to build a sculpture with, and a place to write comments on their virtual n1.

Or maybe make a chat app like chatroulette that uses the device numbers as registration so its n1 users only then create a meetup.

I have. I went into the tmobile store to browse around (I like using the mytouch to remind me how fast my nexus is) and a black guy (no offense to black people) that worked there was like (literally) "Oh shiz you gotz a nexus two? Beast phone evar." And he whipped his out. So I showed him mine.
Long story short, he payed me 50 bucks to make his as awesome as mine.
Too bad I forgot to mention I voided his warranty xD

lol, unless you happen to be from small town #34, NJ I doubt it.

I wonder how long it will be until Google has a manufacturer produce another developer phone?
The Nexus one is the most perfect phone for me and I cant see anything but another developer phone replacing it. It's beautiful, cutting edge, gets updates quicker, is with T-mobile, and is not under carrier control.
What more could you want?

I only know two other people who have nexii one. And they both bought one because they saw how awesome mine was.

Im sure we could get google to organise something like this, an N1 graveyard of kings.

I wonder how well it would've sold if it had been available in stores.

Now that Google have announced they have the final batch of N1s from HTC, I went and ordered another one! I'm going to leave it in mint condition.
I have had range of different cell phones since 1993 and none come close to the N1.
I know that the future will bring much better phones, however, I do recognise what Google was trying to achieve with the N1.

I unlocked it, rooted it, upgraded his radio and kernel (OC, UV - and he was still running 2.1 update 1. Working for Tmo you'd think he'd get the upgrades first xD) And after that, I gave him CM6, cause that was pretty much the easiest way to get all of the GOOD mods in one. I gave him ADW using the paperless theme, and he thought that was way cool, along with the black desire notification bar. It probably took me, including download times, about 25 minutes using his laptop. So, if I could do this for a living, I could charge $120 an hour =D

Good idea for an APP. Kind of like Google Latitude, but open, and it only shows other people with the same phone. =D

Not a lot, but what if they come out with a phone that has 1gb of RAM and a dual core 2ghz proc.
I'm pretty sure that if there was a developer phone with something like that, I *might* drop my Nexus, and run drooling to the online store =D

iPhone working on Sprint...watch and tell me what you think

So I came across this vid on youtube and was wondering what you guys this. I think this guy is a big a$$ d bag and just trying to get people to sign up for his ****.
He has another one up on youtube where he puts his EVO ESN on the iphone via an app and said he activated it on Sprint. I know you can just change that carrier name if you jailbreak it pretty easy, but when he dials *2 that gets you thinking a little bit.
I'll try and find that other vid and post that.
I think its a load of ****, but just maybe it's possible.
Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXx6kLsVs1w
Edit...found the other vid where he changes the ESN supposedly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Przbw2iJnA&feature=related

I've seen those videos too. It really makes you wonder when he dials *2. I wish I had the extra cash to buy an iPhone 4 and try it.

Yeah def same here.

I was thinking to save money can't we just get a verizon iphone 4 with a bad esn?

I call bs.*2 could be what he named Sprints cs #
Sent from the Evo

Basically he's cloned the esn number off of the sprint phone, though 'technically' illeggal, still cool. Though under the same principle youd do it with almost any phone if you know how to chnage its particular esn number.

Wasn't the ESN change the idea people had back in the early Evo days to try to get their Evo on Verizon? I think one or two people around here claimed they did it, acted all smug. Then they probably got their first bill and realized they weren't so smart after all.

so does anyone happen to have access to a verizon iphone that would be willing to try this?

I believe this is legit, some guys a local phone store near me claim they can do this and it works. I dont have an iphone myself but its very possible to clone an esn and get this working. It shouldnt matter if the verizon esn is bad because you would be taking it from your current phone.

I heard you will need the verizon iphone's msl so you can get into the programming settings to get data working and sms etc. Idk much about it myself but multiple people claim they got it working. How could it be that all these peolpe are just being assholes and faking it lol. Who knows! Try it out, you'll need to be jailbroken so you can ssh!

If this is verified how many people are going to go out and buy a VZW iP4?

Count me in! I found some cheap ones with bad esn's like new as low as 280 (craigslist)! It wont matter if the verizon esn is bad because you would be cloning you sprint one anyways.

Well mine has Been jailbroken since day one. If I can get it to work on sprint then I'm selling it lol. I don't like the iPhone, only have it cuz it was free and it has a good battery lol

If you can get it working I would definitely buy it from you, no question. That is if data and sms and everything is fully working. PM me or write back in this thread to see what you can come up with please! You can def count me in on doing this if it works!
That would be real awesome if you can get it working dude.
Edit....how did you get it free anyways?

[Q] I'm a jerk, and broke my new camera!

Seriously just bummed myself out pretty hard with this one. #1 reason for getting an S4 was the potential of the 13 megapixel camera. The one I just broke!
S4 in my pocket, leaned against something just right I guess, and BOOM! Not really a boom more of a sad sad whimper when I first saw my cracked lens.
I've searched this already, and there is hardly even a mention of this happening on google.
Hoping that someone has good news for me, or hopefully some helpful suggestions!
Ghost Glass on the front, Machined aluminium bumper, and not a thing to protect that stupid little piece of glass (why glass?) over the camera.:crying:

I finally received my camera from China... Quite an interesting trip it must have been for this little thing. About to replace the broken one, wish me luck.
the case is sweet.. I really like that it protects the outside of the phone as that is usually the part to hit the ground first on a drop. I also really like the Ghost glass that I've put on the screen. It feels just like the naked screen and doesn't inhibit the feel of the phone at all. The only thing that seems to not be protected by this setup is the camera... However at $28 a pop, I could think of worse things to happen. I'll be sure to do a quick write up when I'm finished in a few minutes.

Damn this phone is easy to fix. Took me five minutes total to fix.

Its definitely real. No fake phone would have the exact same specs as the real device and look exactly the same too. Jfltexx is the real name of the S4, so yeah, its real. Whoever said its fake is probably just jealous or have never seen the fat back of the S-View cover before.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
